Michael Cooper Conservative
“The member is right. The Liberals voted against changes in committee that would have fixed peace bonds and kept strong rules around mandatory minimum sentences.”
“In short, Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is quite right. For example, there was an opportunity to fix section 810 orders at committee. I believe there were amendments brought forward that would have done that. What did the Liberals do? They voted against those amendments, just like they voted against every amendment to put in place robust guardrails around this escape valve with respect to mandatory minimum penalties.”
